YEREVAN. – The “We are Against the Customs Union with Russia” initiative is organizing a march Tuesday, which will start from nearby the Armenian Presidential Residence and finish at the EU representation in Armenia.    

The march is titled, “To respect the sovereignty of Armenia.”

“[President] Serzh Sargsyan cannot represent the Republic of Armenia and Armenia’s interests. I believe what he has done is a serious threat to Armenia’s independence,” “Asparez” Journalists’ Club Chairman Levon Barseghyan told news reporters.   

At present, about fifty civic activists have gathered nearby the Presidential Residence, and the march is expected to get underway at 5։30pm.

Numerous police officers likewise are near the Presidential Residence.

To note, as a result of the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin, it was announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
